Missing hardware from kit

[Ross]

That looks like the e brake handle hardware to me... using on my 2 year old memory when I put that in my kit.

 

[Jareth]

Have to assume so but quantity of spacers and bolts and lengths are odd.

Since my shifter cables were inside the tunnel, I just mounted my handle on top using 3 bolts and 4 spacers. I also trimmed my base to the width of the tunnel, and ended up moving it a few inches forward from it's original spot in this picture. It was uncomfortable to pull when I mounted it too close to the firewall. I had to modify (rebend) the Cobalt cable tubes to get it that far forward.

 

[Jareth]

Thanks, I see that some spots may use more than one spacer.

the three longer bolts are used to secure the handbrake to the tunnel cap in conjunction with the spacers... two per bolt/nut
the two shorter bolt/nuts I have used with cable loops to secure the metal tubing of the donor cable guides to the front of the subframe.
pics in a moment...

I see my response is a bit delayed, but I had similar experience as Ross did. moved the handbrake base more forward, but i did not trim mine... I'm too lazy, ha ha.

Thanks SwerveMonkey, not to late I have been working on other things.

What is this part for, I don’t recall seeing it with my kit?

[Ark :D]

I've never seen that part, so it must be newer than kit #187...

It holds down the two mastercylinder "plugs" that have the poly lines from the reservoir.

Perhaps that is on the earlier model Cobalt, I do have the small clamp being shipped that holds mine down.

Yes...mine is a 2006 SS/SC.

 

[Jareth]

Interesting clamping.

 

[Sparvy]

Interesting clamping.

Trying to get a little extra downforce on that spring clamp as the ports are just push in o-rings.

You should have a hose clamp that goes all the way around the body of the cylinder and then over top of your machined part on top of the cylinder. See here:

Brake fluid doesn't sweat out of the fuel line? No, it's been about a year and half and looks and feels like the day I installed it.

‘Sorry you misunderstood, on this I was not indicating that I was missing anything, just that I don’t care for the look of the worm gear clamp.

I have this on order,
